I MATTER! SO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE...Plus, Thursday Blog Hop Time!

Meet Carol. She is striking her model-pose at the Henri Matisse Exhibit at the San Antonio Museum of Art. Carol is courageously making changes in her life this year by retiring from full time teaching, and preparing for the birth of her first grandchild. On this day, she joined me at the museum for art appreciation and lunch on the Riverwalk!

Just like the Matisse signature style, life is full of color and ready to be appreciated each day...with friends, family, and even newacquaintances!

During my 40s, I mostly hid in my house...from low self esteem and lack of passion for where I was in life at that moment. But, along came my wake up call...changes...and realization that life is so short...LIVE IT PASSIONATELY. That means, when I MATTER, I take time to spend with friends and others, and I get out and experience events which stir my insides...like Matisse!

In fact, the museum was full of groups of women friends enjoying the exhibit together!What is something you would really like to do? Call a friend and do it!

Remember, you matter and deserve to enjoy life!For all I MATTER posts, look in the sidebar...then rush to the blogs of Katie's Favorite Things Blog Hop!

This is a great reminder to catch up with friends! I just contacted a special friend and we now have plans to get together for lunch and shopping! Sometimes we get so busy we neglect this, but you reminded me of how important our friendships are and how important it is to get out and do things.

Today I'm heading up to San Francisco bringing lunch to an 80+ year old writer friend (who acts about 60 so hardly elderly!) who has been sick on and off for months. We'll chat writing and life then go to a movie. I'm actually carting lunch on the train, made it yesterday! I know one day I wont have her so I treasure this time.She matters and I matter!

Three friends and I have planned a mid-winter trip to Vegas because our lives have become so busy with jobs, elderly parents and so many other demands that we seldom find time to enjoy together. My battle with cancer has made us realize how precious time with those we love is, so with the blessing of our husbands, we have intentionally carved out this time to spend away from home together. I can hardly wait!
